Unlike a model airplane or miniature from Games Workshop, each kit includes a few runners in different colors. This is why Gunpla models really don’t need to be painted. But it also means you need to be a bit more careful with the bits, since you won’t be laying on paint to hide your mistakes.
Should I paint Gunpla before or after assembly?
